Summer Launchpad (SLP) provides NYU’s most promising early-stage startups the support and resources they need to accelerate their growth and impact. Selected teams receive one-on-one mentorship from NYC investors and entrepreneurs, customer development training, legal and accounting services via Brown Rudnick and EisnerAmper, cloud computing from Amazon Web Services, and $10,000 in non-dilutive grant funding — all in a dynamic, immersive atmosphere.
Now in its tenth year, SLP launched countless successful NYU startups, including Brooklinen, Dathic, Kinvolved, Geopipe, Gigfinesse, Govern for America, Medivis, My Wellbeing, She Matters, The Diversity Org, and We Are the New Farmers, to just name a few. SLP alumni are collectively generating hundreds of millions in annual revenue!
